3 T20I Stars, featuring Abhishek Sharma, who might get picked for the ODIs vs AUS after Asia Cup 2025
India’s young squad has been shining bright in the Asia Cup 2025, living up to their status as defending champions and looking like serious favorites. The tournament wraps up on September 28, and Team India seems headed straight for the final. Right after that, they gear up to host West Indies for two exciting Test matches from October 2 to 14.
Fans can’t wait for what’s next: a blockbuster ODI series in Australia, where stars like Virat Kohli and captain Rohit Sharma make their comeback. The buzz around this series is electric, especially with India’s youngsters impressing everyone in the ongoing Asia Cup 2025.
Talks are heating up about blending in some T20I talents for the Australia ODIs. As India builds a squad for the long haul, coaches might tap more from the T20 format. Here are three standout T20I players who could earn a spot in the ODI lineup against Australia.
### 1. Abhishek Sharma
This explosive opener has burst onto the scene in T20Is, playing just 20 matches and already climbing to the top of the rankings with over 900 points. Only Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav have hit that mark before him.
Abhishek’s on fire in the Asia Cup 2025, leading the run charts with a strike rate above 200. His aggressive style fits perfectly with head coach Gautam Gambhir’s push for bold white-ball cricket. He could bring that same energy to ODIs and shake up Australia’s bowlers.
### 2. Arshdeep Singh
Arshdeep hasn’t bowled much in the Asia Cup 2025 so far— just one game against Oman—but he’s a key piece in India’s T20I attack. As the format’s top wicket-taker for the team, he swings the new ball and handles the old one with skill.
India has long needed a reliable left-arm pacer in ODIs, and Arshdeep fills the bill. He thrives on bouncy pitches like those in Australia. With Jasprit Bumrah possibly getting rest, Arshdeep looks ready to step up for the ODI series Down Under.
### 3. Shivam Dube
Australian pitches favor pace and big boundaries, so India might skip heavy spin and lean on all-rounders. Enter Shivam Dube, who pairs well with Hardik Pandya and has grabbed second place on the Asia Cup 2025 wicket charts.
Gambhir trusts him, and Dube’s delivering big time. He’s also a solid middle-order hitter who can turn games around. The selectors could reward his form with an ODI call-up for Australia, adding balance to the side.
